Chapter 1184 The More Setbacks, The Braver
"Thank you." Ava took the milk tea and handed the author a small gift box. "This is a little gift from me to you. Please accept it."
"A gift too?" The author happily accepted it with both hands. "Thank you, you're so kind. How about I treat you to lunch?"
Meeting a fan made the author very happy.
Ava said, "Let me treat you."
"How can that be?" The author said, "Let me treat you. Don't be so polite. It's not easy reading my books. Thank you for your support."
"You write so well that I can't help but keep reading."
"Then I'd like to hear your feedback," the author said. "What do you think? Feel free to share your honest thoughts."
She could accept objective feedback as long as it was not malicious or insulting.
Ava thought for a moment and said, "It's full of drama, infuriating, but very captivating. Many times I got so angry while reading, but I couldn't stop. There aren't a lot of cumbersome words, it's concise and smooth, very easy to read. Overall, it's quite engaging and immersive."
The author laughed, "I write dramatic novels. But no matter how dramatic, it's not as dramatic as reality."
Ava smiled, thinking the author was quite nice.
"By the way, when I was reading your book, I saw a reader named Emily who kept insulting you. Did you see that?"
"Oh, you mean her. Of course, I know. She's got issues. Because the plot didn't go the way she wanted, and the female lead didn't forgive the male lead, she couldn't take it. Out of love turned to hate, she started attacking. First, she attacked the female lead, then she attacked me, using foul language and spreading nasty rumors. She even rallied a few readers to join her in cursing me. She's really persistent."
Seeing the author so relaxed, Ava was puzzled. "She says really nasty things. I felt uncomfortable just reading them. Don't you get angry at all?"
"Why should I get angry over idiots?" The author said indifferently. "They don't affect my writing. Most readers are normal."
"You really have a good perspective," Ava said with a smile.
"Of course, I have to. I've been writing for so many years and encountered all kinds of people. If I didn't have some resilience, I'd be in trouble. Many of my peers have been driven to quit by malicious netizens. But I won't quit. I'm the type who gets stronger the more I'm criticized. The more they curse me, the more I want to write. If I give up, wouldn't that mean those stupid netizens win? The only winner can be me."
"I never thought you'd be so different from your books," Ava said, somewhat impressed.
The author was very strong-minded, quite the opposite of her books.
Indeed, the worldview in a novel doesn't represent the author's personal views. The author is just telling a story with various characters. If they all represented the author's views, she would have to split into hundreds or even thousands of personalities.
"Look, she's cursing me again." The author picked up her phone and showed Emily's comments. "She's really persistent. I don't know if she hates me or loves me. And these followers of hers, all cursing me together. It's great. The more they curse, the more attention I get. I love seeing them hate and love at the same time."
The author laughed while reading the comments.
Ava had been worried that the author would be upset by these comments, but now she realized she had been overthinking.
This author had a strong mindset and resilience, getting stronger with every setback.
If it were someone else, they might have become depressed.
